i had succeded in putting kindle in fast boot mode and i got c:\fastboot) after sliver18 said to me make fastboot folder in drive c then i tried to write comand fastboot flash diags mmcblk0p2_ssh.img and pressed enter nothing occured and saying can't load mmcblk0p2_ssh.img
i tried several times
then i thinked that i can copy them manually in kindle drive through kindlediags usb device mode and i did and did N U Z x and nothing done and connection refused i had changed ip adress and did steps in silver18 guide
how can i overcome that please in steps iam doctor and not professional in technology and software

Why did you bother trying to connect with putty to diags SSH on the kindle if you were NOT able to flash the diags SSH image? You wasted our time.

Did you have the .img file in the current directory when you did the fastboot command? If not, you need to specify the full path to the .img file.

You CANNOT just say you followed all the steps in the guide, if one of those steps that you "followed" failed (such as flashing the diags ssh image). I am actually feeling rather annoyed right now, so before I say something that starts a flamewar, I will just stop right here.

EDIT: You cannot use diags SSH until AFTER you flash a diags partition image (mmcblk0p2_ssh.img) that contains files needed for SSH.

sorry geekmaster but i thinked that flashing mean copying files to kindle device and did it manually

i said before iam surgeon and have little ideas on software and technology cause iam always busy
i have all img in drive c
how can specify path to img in cmd window? or fastbootmode

I do realize that you come from a different background and that you have different areas of expertise, but my emotions do not seem to understand that.

You must SUCCESSFULLY flash the mmcblk0p2_ssh.img file with fastboot before moving on to the next step in the guide. Go back and try that again. It said it could not find the file. Be sure that the file is in the same folder as fastboot.exe, or add the full path to the filename. It would be easiest just to copy the image file to the fastboot folder before running the fastboot command.

i had put all img in fastboot folder and in drive c and started flashing said can't load mmcblk0p2_ssh.img
is there any method to specify path ? how? and why it is not loading and it is in the fastboot folder and drive c

You do not need to specify a path if the file is in your current directory. Are you doing this from a command prompt (all-black window with white text)? Did you navigate to the fastboot folder with the "cd" command?

Also, just to be sure, did you decompress the downloaded image file? You cannot just rename it. On windows, you can decompress it with 7-zip.

Also WinRAR works!
You MUST have all images in C:\fastboot folder. And images MUST have the same name you type in CMD (note that if you rename adding .img, windows could have added twice the .img extension)

thanks geek master and silver18 you are great man i did first one and flashed mmcblk0p2_ssh.img succesfuly
but the second img kernel kernel-kt-5.0.0.img cant be flashed because when i extract it become in another name kernel-5.0.0.img and saying writing then in the second row failed( file too large for partion ) as in image shown below then i had renamed the img to that present in comand and it worked as shown is it ok to continue ?????

It looks like it worked, so you can try booting to diags and see if SSH works now.

I do not understand why your screenshot shows the exact same command failing and then succeeding. Did you leave something out there?

it is ok shall i do USB device mode and wait a little: soon you’ll see a kindle drive in your
PC. Copy mmcblk0p1-kt-5.0.0.img ( 350 mb size ) into it, rename to mmcblk0p1.img and
safely remove USB drive or use another img i did it nothing done just kindle tree screen is it taking time i disconnected kindle and will start the steps again

You didn't managed to flash the main partition (dd if=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1.img of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K) because of the space between /mnt/us/ and mmcblk0p1.img
Then you erased /var/local partition TWICE.
Then you reset the boot counter without knowing if it was necessary (and it wasn't...)
